It’s time to grab your mint julep, your extravagant hat and learn the lyrics to ‘My old Kentucky Home.’ The 2019 Kentucky Derby is the 145th edition of the ‘most exciting two minutes in sports,’ and 20 horses will races towards glory in this ‘Run for the Roses.’ After 2018 saw Justify soar across the finish line and kick off his epic run for racing’s Triple Crown, many hope lighting can strike twice this year. Around 150,000 people are expected to flock to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, in order to witness this year’s race. So, who’s going to win? Will the early odds’ favorites – Omaha Beach and Roadster – race away with the W? Will Tacticus take the crown? Could it be Master Fencer, the first ever Japanese-bred horse to run the Kentucky Derby? Could one of the longshots make one person really, really rich? When the bugler plays ‘First Call,’ turn your eyes towards Kentucky as these horses make history.
